Oswald Mosley

Sir Oswald Ernald Erwin Mosley (1896 - 1980) was a British politician and fascist. Originally a conservative MP, he became independant, then a Labour MP, before resigning from the Cabinet after his policies were rejected. He formed his own "New Party", but this did not last a significant amount of time. Finally, he founded and led the British Union of Fascists during the 1930s and advocated pro-Nazi policies. Interned during the war, he later made two unsuccessful attemps to re-enter parliament. He later settled in Paris near the home of his close friend, the former King Edward VIII. Despite his pro-Nazi politics, Mosley is widely reported as having described Adolf Hitler, to his face, as a jumped up little corporal. He was on much closer terms with Joseph Goebbels.
